As for presentations... is it possible to do some setup work inside the hall on Friday already? That would make things more relaxed and productive on Saturday, as there are usually some problems to solve. A one day event might turn out very short anyway ;-)

The latest suggestion was that in terms of a meeting room, the event would extend over one day, i.e. a Saturday. Supposing the hours will be between 10am until 6pm, i.e. 8 hours, how will the various topics suggested by Geoff relate to each other in terms of time, and sound interference?
